Riassunto

In this key anthology Derek Pearsall offers a radically new approach to those teaching and studying English writing from Geoffrey Chaucer to the early work of Edmund Spenser.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

"The true proof of an anthology is its classroom performance. . .Pearsall′s smorgasbord of short extracts, dressed with first–rate contextualizing commentary and references to just the right secondary literature, inspire much independent investigation and a joyous crop of non– repetitive termpapers." "Above all, it is a pleasure to work with a volume annotated from a lifetimes′s learning and leavened by rare, companionable humour. Many moments linger." Medium Aevum
